Long story short, I have a T60 with a bad T2400 CPU. Looking at the "List of Intel Core microprocessors" article in Wikipedia, I realize the T2400 comes with four different sSpec numbers, namely,
SL8VQ, SL8VU (C0)
SL9JM, SL9JZ (D0)
Which one(s) of these four should I look for when looking for a replacement on eBay? And what are the differences among them anyway?
Which T2400 CPU is in the T60?
Which T2400 CPU is in the T60?
T510 4313-CTO, T60 2007-W63, X60s 1702-58U, X40 2372-W96

Re: Which T2400 CPU is in the T60?
That is the one I've seen, too.
You can probably use any, though. Also, if you machine is out of warranty, which I assume it is since you're looking to buy a CPU on your own, then you could upgrade it to a faster CPU and/or a Core 2 Duo model. The T2500 (2.0GHz), T5500 (1.6GHz C2D), T5600 (1.83GHz C2D) or T7200 (2.0GHz C2D) are all options that would improve performance at least a little and still run cool in a T60. Above the T2500 and T7200, heat picks up a little.

Re: Which T2400 CPU is in the T60?
Thanks for the quick reply guys. I got this T60 a few months back from a friend who was experiencing random freezes with it. I figured the CPU might be the culprit after it failed Prime95. I really don't see myself using it since it only has the XGA screen, so I plan to fix it up and sell it one way or the other.
On the other hand, I have wanted to upgrade my own flexview T60 to a T7600 for a while now, so I could do that and use the T2400 I switch out. But a quick browse through eBay shows that the T7600 is going for over $200. I know a T7200 is a lot cheaper, but then I feel that if I am to do an upgrade, I may as well go all out. So I will probably end up getting a T2400 for cheap to fix the bad T60.

Can I simply swap out my T5500 CPU in my 1953CTO T60 with a T5600? Or my T2400 core duo in my 2623D6U T60?
